Citi CC & DC CLI Approval

Hey all,

 

Got some love from Citi this morning! DP's below:

 

I've been hitting that increase button for months now. I opened the CC & DC 06/12/21 & 07/07/21, respectively. They both started with a $9.9k SL.

 

I used the CC strictly for 5% back on all of our fast food purchases and dining out (then went to my FU when hit the $500 per month). Always hit the $500 category cap per month on the CC. 

 

I've been using the DC for things here and there. I swipe it maybe 3-4 times a month with only ~$100/month spend.

 

Always PIF.

 

I kept getting the same old "your credit report shows too many recently opened accounts" response, even though I have 0 opened in the last 6 months Smiley Very Happy - I decided to hit the button today on my CC, like I do every morning. The message was different this time... Approved?!? Heck yeah!! Went straight to the DC - Approved!!

 

$2k on the CC ($9.9k ----> $11.9k)

$1.5k on the DC ($9.9k ----> $11.4k)

 

"I gotta say, it was a good day"

 

Cheers, everyone!
